Apple Crumble

Written by Grain Free Living

Ingredients

Apples - we used granny smith - about 6 - 8 sliced.
Currants
Orange Juice
Cinnamon

Mix apples etc together and place in baking tray.   We cooked this recipe all together (without pre-cooking the apples) but the apple mixture was a little on the dry side, so you could cook this first or just ensure you have enough juice or water in the mixture so it cooks properly without being too dry or too wet.  I'll leave this bit up to you.

Crumble: Make enough to cover your quantity of apples

1 part almond meal
1 part slivered or flaked almonds
2 parts shredded coconut
butter - about 2 or 3 tablespoons worth, or as needed.  Use it cold from the fridge and grate it into the crumble, lightly mix through with spoon or your fingers.
Maple syrup - about 1 or 2 tablespoons worth.

Method

Mix all ingredients lightly together and spoon over apples.

Bake at 180ºC until topping is browned and apples are cooked through.  (If you are using precooked apples, you will only need about 15 mins, if you are using uncooked apples, you will probably need to cover with baking paper so crumble does not burn/over brown while apples are cooking)

After making this a couple of times with uncooked apples, I think I prefer precooking the apples to ensure correct consistency of the apple mixture and to streamline the "crumble" cooking time.

General Recipe Notes

All recipes measurements are in METRIC. If you wish to convert to imperial please use the convertor tool supplied on each recipe page and use the same (either all metric or all imperial) for the whole recipe.

Some points for American readers on metric measurements are:

1 cup is 250ml which is slightly larger than the imperial 1 cup of an 8 oz measure.  1 tblspoon is 20 ml which again is slightly larger than the imperial tablespoon measure of 15ml.  In most recipes this should not make too much of a difference, especially if you exchange all metric for all imperial.  Cookie recipes need accuracy however so if your cookies are not turning out (either too soft or spreading too much) the problem will most likely be the measures.

Nearly all recipes are cooked in a moderate 180°C oven, which is 350 °F / Gas 4.
